The England star was even mocked for his display in the Reds’ 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Leicester last month but Klopp is confident his summer signing will come good.

On Oxlade-Chamberlain’s 12-minute cameo against Manchester United, Klopp said: ‘It was very good, I liked it!

‘Ox is a big signing for us, an English international and stuff like this, but coming in and doesn’t play regularly – I understand all the things, but everyone needs time, even Ox. He is cool, it is fine.’

Klopp believes Liverpool’s different style of play and the international break have made it difficult for the Englishman to hit the ground running.

He added: ‘With the different style of play, everything what is new is more intense for a new player.

‘You are exhausted even in moments when you shouldn’t be exhausted, but it’s all about trying to adapt to all that stuff.
